Show OUR SCHOOLS In one of our important institutions, the public pub-lic schools, a most unusual condition exists. We are informed that six of the ten teachers employed employ-ed at th2 Highland Boy school will not return to that school the comming year. A large per cent of the teachers at both Copperfield and the Central Cen-tral in Bingham will go elsewhere to teach and also al-so seven or eight members of the faculty of the Bingham High school, including the principal, will seek other fields of activity, and will not return to the local school the coming school year. Is there anything wrong? We are unable to accept the view that this is "just a normal turnover." We are calling attention to this matter at this time for the reason that we believe it is most opportune. op-portune. If there is an evil cause back of this situation situ-ation it should be rooted out. If clandestinus motifs mo-tifs for personal preferment have taken precedence over educational advancement in our schools1 a remedy should be found without delay. it is a well known ract tnat scnoois ana scnooi systems cannot be built overnight, it requires a long time and the exercise of much patience, courage cour-age and leadership to bring together all the desirable desir-able elements necessary to a modern institution of learning. Under the many handicaps which are existant ve feel that good results have been attained here in our schools, but we also are convinced that with intelligent thinking and co-operation on the part of the patrons of the schools with the school ad- ministration, many more improvements may be made. |
